Description :
Newcomers to the Southwest usually find that their favorite landscape plants
aren't suited to the hot, dry climate. Many authors offer advice on adapting
plants to the desert now Mary Irish tells how gardeners can better adapt
themselves to the challenge.Drawing on her experience with public horticulture
in the Phoenix metropolitan area, Irish explores the vexations and delights of
desert gardening. She offers practical advice on plants and gardening
practices for anyone who lives in the Southwest, from El Paso to Palm
Springs, Tucson to Las Vegas.Irish encourages readers who may be new to
the desert or desert dwellers who may be new to gardening to stop struggling
against heat, aridity, and poor soils and instead learn to use and appreciate
the wonderful and well adapted plants native to the desert. She shares
information and anecdotes about trees, shrubs, perennials, agaves, cacti, and
other plants that make gardening in the Southwest a unique experience, and
provides further information about plants from other desert regions that will
easily adapt to the Southwest. In addition to descriptions of plants, Irish also
offers tips on planting, watering, pruning, and propagation.For anyone who has
struggled to maintain a patch of green or blanched at their water bill after
unproductive irrigation, the answer to an attractive landscape may be as close
as the desert around you. And for anyone who has bought a catalog guide to
desert plants and not known which to choose, this book can set you on the
right path. Mary Irish shows how to take heart in available plants of adaptable
beauty in a book to enjoy while waiting for the next planting cycle.
